Further development of derivative pricing theory including the use of equivalent martingale measures, the Girsanov Theorem, the Radon-Nikodym Derivative, and a deeper, more general understanding of the Arbitrage Theorem. Numerical approaches to solving stochastic PDE’s will be further developed. Applications involving interest rate sensitive securities and more complex options will be introduced. Whenever practical examples will use real market data. Numerical exercises and projects in a high-level programming environment will also be assigned.
